Support Power button stopped working

http://androidforums.com –
The power button on my Optimus V has completely stopped working. I ordered a new phone to replace it.
But how can I wipe my Optimus V?
I can't boot into recovery to wipe data/factory reset because the power button no longer works. I can't even reboot or power on/off the phone.
I can't pull the battery because I'll have no way to turn the phone back on.:(

Stories similar to Support Power button stopped working

On my phone the power button stopped working, like totally stopped. No screen locking, no screen shots, no power button at all. I have the app Smart Screen Lite which will let me turn my screen off; which I am ok with. I do need to restart, turn off and turn back on my phone, every couple of days just because it lags like crap. I downloaded Fast Reboot app, but that doesn't solve anything.
